:06:38. > :06:41.on the driver on the bus at the time of the accident. Incredibly, all of
:06:42. > :06:46.them escaped serious injury. My main thought was for the driver,
:06:47. > :06:51.but he was all right. I was scared for him or than me. I thought, it
:06:52. > :06:56.he's all right, anyone in the house, that's the main thing. I knew I was
:06:57. > :07:00.all right because I was walking, it's I just wanted to make sure he
:07:01. > :07:03.was all right. Next door, the property and the
:07:04. > :07:08.family living there felt the effects of the crash too.
:07:09. > :07:18.We heard a very bang-bang noise, and we were shocked. Without Sunday had
:07:19. > :07:23.maybe hit our cars outside. And he's all there was a buzz inside the
:07:24. > :07:31.house, and we were shocked. It was just a lot of shaking, the
:07:32. > :07:34.whole house shaking. This afternoon, the owner of the

:07:58. > :08:01.me. You can see it's been done like that to make sure it won't fall
:08:02. > :08:05.down. They've been doing that all Dave. I can tell you at the time of
:08:06. > :08:09.the accident, there was two cars, one was hit by the bus, and the
:08:10. > :08:13.other one was driven by this man. Tell me what you know?
:08:14. > :08:19.Basically, I was on that junction, next thing you know, there was a
:08:20. > :08:25.black Discovery coming towards town. He then had the bus, it was control
:08:26. > :08:30.of the vehicle, went flying over the islands, hit the black Discovery.
:08:31. > :08:35.Within seconds, I would have been hit and my life would have been
:08:36. > :08:38.over. BMI passenger would have had no chance, will only in a little
:08:39. > :08:47.Vauxhall Corsa, we wouldn't have survived.
:08:48. > :08:50.I think it was lucky it was this time, and hour later, it would be
:08:51. > :08:56.much worse. An hour and a half later, that bus
:08:57. > :09:01.would been full of school kids. I used to get that school -- bus to
:09:02. > :09:06.school, you talking hundreds of schoolkids. Rub in an instant,
:09:07. > :09:11.you're talking about a disaster. I can tell you the investigation is
:09:12. > :09:12.going underway, quarterly everyone involved is not injured badly at

:10:57. > :11:02.Elizabeth Glinka has been taking a closer look
:11:03. > :11:06.So, Elizabeth, this sounds like good news for the Midlands,
:11:07. > :11:09.The increase reflects a buoyant market,
:11:10. > :11:12.people are feeling confident, people are moving to the region
:11:13. > :11:18.As we've heard in the past, the Midlands is now the number-one
:11:19. > :11:20.location for 30 and 40-somethings relocating from London.
:11:21. > :11:22.But, of course, it's not that simple.
:11:23. > :11:25.Price rises can also reflect a shortage of supply.
:11:26. > :11:30.Lets have a look at the the figures that Rightmove have put out today.
:11:31. > :11:32.The average house price in England and Wales this month
:11:33. > :11:37.is over 310,000, just a few hundred pounds under
:11:38. > :11:42.the previous record, which was recorded in June last year.
:11:43. > :11:45.The average here in the Midlands is, as you'd expect, lower -
:11:46. > :11:53.But prices here are going up faster than almost anywhere else.
:11:54. > :11:57.In fact, at 4.2%, we had the second-highest growth
:11:58. > :12:01.rate in the country, behind the East Midlands.
:12:02. > :12:05.And while we know London is mega-expensive -
:12:06. > :12:10.their average is just under 650,000 - their prices are going up
:12:11. > :12:14.at a much slower pace than ours, less than 1%.
:12:15. > :12:21.So why do the experts think this is happening?
:12:22. > :12:23.There's an increase in investment from businesses
:12:24. > :12:28.There is an increase in confidence amongst buyers,
:12:29. > :12:31.and there's an increase in confidence amongst sellers.
:12:32. > :12:34.And also, in terms of mortgages, mortgages for those people who can
:12:35. > :12:39.get them are a bit easier to get then they used to be years ago.
:12:40. > :12:42.Now, perhaps they would say this as their living depends on it -
:12:43. > :12:47.but agents in the Midlands told Rightmove they expect prices
:12:48. > :12:51.to continue to rise in our region by between 4-5% over
:12:52. > :12:56.The most expensive part of our region, that's Warwickshire,
:12:57. > :13:00.where the average property price is now 286,000.
:13:01. > :13:03.Now, we don't know what's going to happen with Brexit
:13:04. > :13:07.But at the moment, it remains pretty competitive out there -
:13:08. > :13:11.great if you own your home, not so good if you're trying to get

:13:21. > :13:25.This isn't exactly the most fragrant of topics, but intriguing
:13:26. > :13:29.A multi-million pound plant's opened in West Bromwich to recycle nappies,
:13:30. > :13:36.The company running it says it's the first if its kind.
:13:37. > :13:39.It'll stop thousands of tonnes of waste ending up in landfill
:13:40. > :13:43.and instead turn it into fuel for power stations.
:13:44. > :13:45.Our environment correspondent David Gregory-Kumar has

:14:01. > :14:06.pads. In this country reduces a pile like this every three hours. This
:14:07. > :14:09.waste has been put into the bin in your cubicle, toilet, or perhaps in
:14:10. > :14:14.a nursery. That waste is being collected, but
:14:15. > :14:19.difficulty is, where does it go? Was of it is going to landfill.
:14:20. > :14:23.So this new recycling plant as part of a multi-million pound attempt to
:14:24. > :14:28.devote this waste from landfill and turn it into something useful. So
:14:29. > :14:33.first you had to shred the waist and use a magnet to get rid of all the
:14:34. > :14:40.metal things you don't want. So all the metal things end up here. In the
:14:41. > :14:44.past they have found handcuffs, forceps, and even a purse with a
:14:45. > :14:50.passport in. Today, there's knife and fork in here for some reason.
:14:51. > :14:54.Then you squeeze out all the liquid, and the result is a dryly bail ready
:14:55. > :14:58.for burning in a power station. A process that is much less smelly
:14:59. > :15:05.than I was expecting. What we're doing doesn't create any
:15:06. > :15:08.extra odours, so we're managing and dampening the odours that are

:17:42. > :17:45.here. The city's market building have

:20:57. > :20:59.to keep a clean sheet In sharp contrast, Marvin Sordell
:21:00. > :21:05.scored twice as Burton raced into a 3-1 half-time
:21:06. > :21:09.lead against Brentford. But the visitors stormed
:21:10. > :21:11.back after the break to grab four without reply
:21:12. > :21:16.and win the game 5-3. It was a similar
:21:17. > :21:18.story in League One, where Franck Moussa scored
:21:19. > :21:20.twice to put Walsall But Southend had the last laugh,
:21:21. > :21:24.with three goals in 20 minutes to boost their own play-off chances
:21:25. > :21:29.at Walsall's expense. Sam Foley's opening goal helped

:21:57. > :21:59.but sadly neither have No, Bromsgrove Sporting
:22:00. > :22:03.and Coleshill Town fell just short. Bromsgrove were away
:22:04. > :22:06.to Cleethorpes Town. They began level at 1-1,
:22:07. > :22:09.but lost Saturday's game 1-0, so that's a 2-1
:22:10. > :22:11.defeat on aggregate. Coleshill trailed South Shields
:22:12. > :22:15.2-1 after the home leg. This spectacular opening goal
:22:16. > :22:21.from captain Julio Arca was the pick as South Shileds won 4-0 on the day,
:22:22. > :22:28.6-1 on aggregate. Blues Ladies won through
:22:29. > :22:30.the FA Cup quarterfinals. Let me take you away to a tale
:22:31. > :22:39.of tempestuous love set in the wilds But - and this might
:22:40. > :22:43.raise an eyebrow or two - this new film adaptation
:22:44. > :22:45.of Wuthering Heights is actually being shot in the Midlands -
:22:46. > :22:48.with scenes in Herefordshire, The director sold her house
:22:49. > :22:53.to realise her dream of making the film, as our arts reporter
:22:54. > :22:58.Satnam Rana has been finding out. About five miles from the Welsh
:22:59. > :23:01.border lies the village The castle ruins look over
:23:02. > :23:06.the village and I'm coming into the churchyard now, and a filming
:23:07. > :23:10.crew has taken over. The Church of St Mary and St David
:23:11. > :23:16.today, a film set for the adaptation of literary classic
:23:17. > :23:19.Wuthering Heights. Here because of director
:23:20. > :23:25.Elisaveta Abrahall, But isn't Emily Bronte's novel based
:23:26. > :23:31.in the Yorkshire Moors? It would've cost us an absolute
:23:32. > :23:34.fortune to schlep up The locality around here
:23:35. > :23:39.really does lend itself We have a fantastic amount
:23:40. > :23:44.of Shropshire hills - Cleehill is desolate
:23:45. > :23:47.at the best of times - and it really has the same
:23:48. > :23:49.sort of vibe. we hope that Yorkshire
:23:50. > :23:52.will forgive us for that. What's more, this director has
:23:53. > :23:55.raised the ?100,000 budget You can't always get
:23:56. > :24:00.the job you want, can you? So you've got to make the job
:24:01. > :24:02.you want sometimes, Filming has also taken place
:24:03. > :24:06.across Shropshire, Worcstershire and Gloucestershire -
:24:07. > :24:10.this, Chanvenage House. Opportunities have bene created
:24:11. > :24:12.for local orgaisations - today, KC Horse Rescue
:24:13. > :24:16.and, of course, locals It's nice to have something
:24:17. > :24:21.like this going on in the village. It's totally different to
:24:22. > :24:25.what we usually have going on here. I think it's very exciting, it's
:24:26. > :24:29.such a lovely spot here in Kilpeck. And such a famous shurch,
:24:30. > :24:32.so it's nice for it to be My wife sent a photo
:24:33. > :24:38.of myself and the dog, and they said, yes, please,
:24:39. > :24:42.we'll have the dog! And Cathy is played
:24:43. > :24:44.by a Herefordshire actress too, It's been really relaxing, oddly -
:24:45. > :24:52.I haven't had to do a thing. I fell asleep at one point,
:24:53. > :24:56.so that was pretty good. Expect a host of emotions in this
:24:57. > :25:00.film, which will be released in time for Emily Bronte's 200th birth
:25:01. > :25:18.anniverary in July 2018. So, without any dithering, let's
:25:19. > :25:21.scale the Wuthering Heights with Rebecca.
:25:22. > :25:26.You've always reminded me of Heathcliff, I think it might be the
:25:27. > :25:33.hair. The weather was slightly Bront -esque today, it was cold and
:25:34. > :25:36.bleak, and it was wet. Through this afternoon, we begin to see the
:25:37. > :25:41.clouds parting, and it was a pleasant end to the day. But it was
:25:42. > :25:45.noticeably breezy, and that breeze is incredibly chilly. So as we head
:25:46. > :25:51.through the week, we will see those strong gusts of wind continuing. And
:25:52. > :25:55.we have rain to come by the end of the week as well. This was a rain
:25:56. > :25:59.that crossed this morning. Behind that, the ice are packed closely
:26:00. > :26:04.together and it is coming from a cold sores. Then we have this
:26:05. > :26:06.weather system working its way in through Tuesday and Wednesday. The
:26:07. > :26:12.high-pressure hopefully arriving by the end of the week to settle things
:26:13. > :26:19.down. But for tonight, colder air, unsettled spells above us. It could
:26:20. > :26:23.be wintry over the moorlands. Overnight we see temperatures
:26:24. > :26:27.falling to freezing, so a cold but bright start to the day tomorrow. It
:26:28. > :26:32.is bring, remember, so some sunshine to come, and it is strong. If you
:26:33. > :26:36.get any shelter from the wind, you will notice that. But then these
:26:37. > :26:40.scattered showers blow in from the West. They will be lively at times,
:26:41. > :26:47.but moving quickly. Temperatures down on last week, seven Celsius
:26:48. > :26:52.Lichaj. We moved through tomorrow, and we will see these showers
:26:53. > :26:59.tomorrow. Heavy downpours there, but we start to see the temperatures
:27:00. > :27:03.left a bit. So we start to see a change in wind direction. From
:27:04. > :27:07.Wednesday, even though it is wetter, temperatures will improve. There
:27:08. > :27:11.will be some sunshine at times, and by the end of the week, we will
:27:12. > :27:14.start to see our temperatures do better and a little more settled.
:27:15. > :27:18.I'll have the weather for the week ahead at 10:30pm, hope you can join
:27:19. > :27:23.us then. That was the Midlands Today. I hope
:27:24. > :27:56.you can join us this evening. Bye-bye.
:27:57. > :27:59.The 24-year-old man has been charged with murder.
:28:00. > :28:02.You made sure an innocent man is charged!
:28:03. > :28:04.What gives you the right to say that he's innocent?
:28:05. > :28:10.If police wrongdoing is part of this, I want to know.
:28:11. > :28:17.Huntley's definitely hiding something.
